Re: Galileo Day

I have to blame myself for not having more
effectively translated the CIA scenario, I
assumed it was know more than it is.
Respondents don't understand what it is
so we're all talking past each other.

We're not talking about a plane that was on a
forward/horizontal vector and that translated
into a downward vector (but keep in mind that
horizontal and vertical velocity are independent,
but that's not a matter here). The CIA scenario
says that the plane shot upwards 3,200 feet
in 20 seconds after the nose came off. Drawing
a graph finds that's an angle of attack around
16 to 18 degrees.

IAN: Horizontal velocity is independent of
vertical velocity, what that means is that
you don't translate forward velocity into
downward velocity. Basic kinematics, but
again, not a factor in the CIA scenario.

Speed does play a role in lift. For
example,tilt a wing at any angle at
0 mph, and it gets no lift. Give it
some forward speed, and it has lift.

The front end blew away, and the mid-to
rear sections got rear heavy causing a
pitch up, which the math shows will cause
a fatal stall in under five seconds, but
the CIA says it caused the noseless jet
to shoot upwards looking like a rocket.

Witness say that the plane rolled and fell
like a rock, which is exactly what happened
to PAN AM 103 after it lost its forward section.
